Quietness

It was a warm, sunny morning and she was running late.

Normally, there would be no problem with her leaving sharp at ten, but with the build-up of orders together with her offsider being off sick, it meant she was behind time. She knew that feeling guilty made no sense at all, but she felt that way all the same. She was looking forward to the catch-up in their quiet place. It was the quietness that she found soothing. That’s why they had chosen it. In a way it was the quietness of the area that made it special and more personal, somehow. When the spot came into sight, she slowed down a little. As she approached, smiling, she said, “Running late. Sorry!”

He said nothing.

She sat down and opened a small plastic container. She took out half of a homemade sandwich and began to eat. After a while she said, “I picked up the new curtains for the lounge yesterday on the way home. That’s a job for the weekend, I think.”

He remained quiet.

She finished eating and closed the container. “I received an email from my sister last night,” she went on. “She told me more about the cruise that they’ve booked. She’s getting quite excited about it.”

Still no response.

She too sat silent for a while.

She looked around admiring the scenery, particularly the trees that surrounded the place. She thought about how much she loved being there. Eventually, she looked at the time and got up brushing bits of grass off her clothes. Despite the day warming, the marble felt cold when she laid her hand on it.

In a whisper that she herself could barely hear she told him how much she loved him and said that she would visit again tomorrow.

She left the way she came.
